A catching new single from Brooklyn-based artist Luka James, “Can’t Admit It” blends surf-y vocal harmonizing with punk-pop influence for an infectious, summer-set sound.
The “wanna feel it but you can’t admit it,” vocal expressions — from the upfront ardency to the reflective pop lushness — plays with a dynamic, replay-inducing charm. The more conversational segment thereafter combines with lush vocal harmonizing for a gripping switch-up. “Can’t Admit It” is an accessible, hooky success with several enjoyable turns.
